"Wake up!" Xiao He responded as he got up and got out of bed. He simply straightened his robes and then opened the door and walked out.
Everyone was ready to go and waited for Xiao He. In addition to Dong Ge, brothers Kong Lu and Kong Ge, whom Xiao He met on his first day here, were all there. There were nearly twenty people in the group. Each of them wore animal skin armor, and the weapons in their hands were either swords or axes. They were personally crafted by the smelters of the tribe, and they were very powerful in battle.
Xiao He smiled knowingly, waved to everyone, jumped down from the thick tree trunk, and walked straight to Dong Ge.
"Greetings to the Chief Secretary!" Before Xiao He could speak, everyone including Dong Ge suddenly saluted Xiao He in unison. It really shocked Xiao He.
"Director?" Xiao He whispered towards Dong Ge.
Dong Ge immediately stepped forward, covering his mouth with one hand, and whispered to Xiao He: "The clan leader has officially notified the army and appointed you as the top officer of the munitions department. You will be the leader of the search for Huorongcao this time. !」
Xiao He smiled bitterly and whispered: "The highest officer of the Munitions Department, is it because I can cook?"
Dong Ge shook his head and said he didn't know either. Seeing Xiao He still stunned, Dong Ge had no choice but to remind him that everyone was clasping their fists and lowering their heads, waiting for his instructions.
Although Xiao He already held the positions of great elder, high priest, etc., he was still a little uncomfortable with such preferential treatment when he first arrived. Looking at everyone, he still made a slight adjustment and said seriously: "Brothers, there is no need to be polite, we treat each other equally!"
After everyone heard this, they stood up straight again.
"Shall we set off now?" Xiao He asked Dong Ge in a low voice.
"You are the team leader, so of course I have to listen to you!" Dong Ge said half-jokingly.
"Lead the way!" Xiao He said with a smile.
After Xiao He finished speaking, Dong Ge smiled again, turned around and waved. A soldier at the end of the team walked up to Xiao He and stood in front of Xiao He, holding a rein in one hand. He first performed a military salute, and then said respectfully: "Please, sir." Director, mount up!"
Xiao He politely returned the greeting to the soldier in front of him. Dong Ge patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite, Chief. You are their commander. The tribe's army has a strict hierarchy. You will get used to it gradually. "
Such a simple truth naturally made Xiao He understand it. He immediately got on his horse, lowered his head slightly and said to the soldier holding the horse for him: "Little brother, follow the team. I, a big director, don't need my brother to hold the horse for me." Hold the whip."
"Yes!" The soldier saluted again, turned around and ran to the end of the team. Dong Ge, Kong Lu and Kong Ge, as vanguard officers, also rode on fast horses and walked alongside Xiao He.
On the way, Dong Ge joked: "How about it? It's been a long time since you felt like riding a horse, right?"
Xiao He replied: "How wonderful it is to gallop around the world!"
Kong Ge also said: "If I were not worried about encountering a thunderstorm, I would really like to ride with the chief on the sword, then it would really be called galloping through the world!"
Xiao He said with a smile: "If you walk freely, the earth will be under your feet!"
After Xiao He finished speaking, he clamped his legs hard and rode away in the dust. A team of more than 20 people followed closely behind. Although the speed was not as fast as walking with a sword, these people were quite powerful, especially the magic beasts of Xiao He and the other four. Fanpin has traveled more than a hundred miles in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Dong, how long will it take to march here?" Xiao He shouted as the wind whistled in his ears.
"Two days and one night!" Dong Ge also responded loudly.
"Where will we rest tonight?" Xiao He asked again.
"There is a mountain forest not far ahead. We can reach it in the evening. Let's rest in the forest!" Dong Ge replied.
"Are there any monsters living in the forest?" Xiao He asked again.
Hearing this, Dong Ge felt strange. He turned to look at Xiao He. Seeing the evil smile on his face, he suddenly understood. While speeding up his horse, he turned back to shout to the team: "Brothers, walk faster. In the evening, the boss will I’ll give you some extra food!”
"Okay!" When the soldiers heard this, their morale suddenly became high. Everyone cheered loudly and their feet also accelerated at the same time.
There was no words along the way, and as the sky gradually darkened, the group of people had marched to a vast plain. As the sun set over the western mountains, everyone gradually slowed down. Dong
Ge rode a horse and walked side by side with Xiao He, and reported to Xiao He in a low voice: "After passing this plain, there should be a low mountain not far ahead. Once you enter the mountain, you can see the forest!"
"Then tell brothers, walk faster!" Xiao He said.
Dong Ge looked embarrassed and said, "It's just..."
Xiao He turned to look at Dong Ge and saw that his brows were furrowed and he hesitated to speak, so he asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Dong Ge immediately replied: "It's just that when I came here last time, it didn't seem to be so miasmatic!"
"Are you very affected?" Xiao He asked.
Dong Ge replied: "That's not necessarily the case. The last time I passed here, I only looked for the fire and grass, and didn't stop further. I had the impression that there is another mountain range in this plain, not far from the mountains and forests I passed."
Xiao He nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "In this case, even if you go wrong, it won't be too detoured!"
"Yes!" Dong Ge replied.
"That's okay," Xiao He said, "The tribe is waiting for our fire melting grass, try not to delay the journey, not to mention the plains have nothing to rely on, lest they encounter the gods of the seven cities, tell the brothers to speed up and hurry up before the sky is completely dark. I went into the forest to rest before."
"Yes!" Kong Ge and Kong Lu said in unison, and then conveyed Xiao He's order to every soldier. The group of people headed towards the miasma mist in such a mighty manner.
Entering the miasma, the marching speed of everyone slowed down obviously. Kong Lu and Kong Ge closely guarded Xiao He, looking nervous. Xiao He saw this and relaxed and said, "With Dong Ge as a living map, you two don't have to worry too much. Everyone is a little too nervous."
"Chief Director, you don't know something." Kong Ge explained: "The climate of Tongtian Fortress is already cloudy and sunny, and dangers can appear at any time when the field of vision is wide. What's more, it is now foggy and the visibility is extremely poor. We have no choice but to Be alert and prepared to deal with emergencies."
In fact, how could Xiao He not understand this truth? When he first came here, he had already felt some changes in the world. The area covered by his consciousness had shrunk many times compared to when he was in the eastern human area. He knew that he had to improve his level in order to regain the same level of ability he had in the eastern part of the continent in a completely different world.
At the same time, Xiao He also knew that in the miasma, in addition to the thunder and fire that may appear at any time, there are also those magical beasts dormant in the dark that are more likely to appear. That is the real danger they are likely to encounter. And the range that his own consciousness can currently cover is very limited, and naturally he doesn't have full confidence in his heart.
As a commander, he must take it all in stride.
However, this time, Xiao He's worries were unnecessary. They marched without incident. When the sky was getting dark and the moon shadow had just climbed into the clouds, they successfully entered the edge of a mountain forest.
As soon as they entered the forest, Xiao He and others dismounted and rested, preparing to arrange for the soldiers to camp. Everyone's nervousness finally relaxed. Only Dong Ge began to observe the surrounding environment. After several confirmations, Dong Ge smiled bitterly and said to Xiao He: "We really went to the wrong place."
Xiao He smiled calmly, observed the surroundings and said, "It's okay. I'll rest at the edge of the forest tonight. I'll ask my two brothers to catch a monster and roast it with me later!"
"This is the only way!" Dong Ge was a little worried, but had no other choice. But at this moment, there was a sudden thunder in the sky not far away, and everyone looked back in panic. The sky above the miasma was covered with dark clouds, and purple thunderfires frequently bombarded the empty land - a thunderstorm occurred.
Everyone was still frightened, and Kong Lu couldn't help but sigh: "It's so suspenseful!"
Kong Ge also said: "The Chief Secretary is truly a blessed general!"
Xiao He smiled and said, "Arrange the brothers to camp and rest. Kong Lu, you take your two brothers and go hunting with me!"
"Yes!" Kong Lu said.
At this time, Dong Ge hesitated and seemed to want to go with him. Xiao He saw what he meant and comforted him with a smile: "You are our eyes, I need you to be energetic and have a good rest!"
"Okay!" Dong Ge smiled.
In this way, Xiao He led the people and walked slowly towards the depths of the dense forest.
The moonlight shone sparsely, and most of the monsters in the forest were asleep. Occasionally, a few rats could be seen squatting on thick tree trunks to worship the moon. Xiao He led people passing by gently. These short rats could not satisfy the taste buds of more than 20 people.
After walking for a long time, a sweet aroma hit everyone's noses. Everyone stopped, all looking drunk. Under the moonlight, a tame forest musk deer is eating wild flowers with its head down, and the fragrance is constantly coming from the scent sac of the forest musk deer. The forest musk deer is obsessed with the flowers and does not seem to notice the danger coming.
"Ah sneeze!"
Suddenly, a person next to Kong Lu couldn't help but sneeze.
The sudden sound obviously disturbed the forest musk deer in the distance. It raised its head alertly, staring at the human looking at it in the distance with a pair of bright eyes, then turned around, jumped more than ten meters in two or three times, and disappeared like this. In the dense forest.
When everyone saw this, they all shot away without Xiao He's orders. .
Xiao He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and flew away in the direction of everyone. By the time Xiao He caught up with everyone, everyone had already captured the forest musk deer.
Lin She was lying on the ground, breathless, which made Xiao He feel compassion. But there are so many people waiting to fill their stomachs, not to mention that the law of the jungle has existed since the eastern part of the continent, let alone in this chaotic place where people can eat people.
Although there is still no seasoning on hand at this time, the musk in the forest musk bag is the most natural spice. Others didn't understand the process of making barbecue, so they had to stand aside and watch Xiao He busy.
I saw him cutting the venison into large pieces, cleaning the meat with stream water, and marinating the venison on the bluestone with the musk in the bag. Then he took out the fat and tender parts and heated them with magic, and the fat meat melted in the air. It gradually made a sizzling sound, and drops of natural oil dripped evenly onto the marinated venison. Then after another effort, the entire venison was roasted and matured.
After doing all this, Xiao He returned with everyone satisfied. By a stream in the forest, only a skeleton was left, as if it had just been eaten by a wild beast.
